The installation of the proposed monitoring systems is part of the implementation of Action C2 "Establishment of monitoring and early warning systems for caves and bat colonies" in three caves of the LIFE GRECABAT program. The monitoring systems will record and transmit in real time both data of conditions inside and outside the caves (temperature, humidity, CO2 levels, etc.) and, additionally, image through remote controlled infrared surveillance cameras.

The LIFE GRECABAT Educational kit contains educational activities for elementary and secondary school children. It is thematically adapted to the objectives and actions of the LIFE17 NAT / GR / 000522 - LIFE GRECABAT project ("Greek Caves and Chiropractors: Management Actions and Behavior Change") - a deliverable of the project. The contents of the kit are related to the habitat of land caves, the relations of bats and cave invertebrates to their environment, the effect of human activities but also the need to maintain the functionality of natural ecosystems.

One of the seemingly "innocent" but often detrimental pressures on the program's bat species is the human presence in important roosts, whether for speleological expeditions, archeological excavations, or other scientific activities or leisure visits. Especially during the period of birth and upbringing of newborns (nurseries, May - July) but also in winter (November-February), in the coldest caves, human presence can lead to mass deaths immediately or in the medium term.
